Chapter 447-446 When you're in the game, you have to keep your word.
Chapter 447, Section 446: In this world, you have to keep your word.
The roar of the leading cavalry was torn apart by the overwhelming elemental torrent.
The warhorses reared up with neighing, and a surging torrent of vibrant colors rushed in.
He casually waved his hand, and layers of magical barriers gradually grew larger, attempting to intercept them.
It's too late.
The scouts at the very front were torn to shreds along with their horses, their armor twisting and crumbling like fragile tin foil.
Elemental magic permeated his body, and a vibrant blood mist bloomed, only to be dispersed by a strong wind.
The sudden attack caught the vanguard cavalry of the Peria Empire off guard. The fallen corpses and the shockwaves from the explosions indirectly created tripwires, splitting the formation in two.
He clicked his tongue in amazement under the covers and reminded her, "The most flamboyant leader isn't dead!"
After quickly casting a magical barrier, he abandoned his horse and rolled away, dodging the danger zone of the fused torrent volley.
He gave a loud command, and with a light leap, jumped onto the nearby guard's warhorse, pushing the other off.
"Flanking maneuver from both flanks!"
The point of attack split in two, with two cavalry units flanking from the left and right.
With fewer than 50 men, the commander who gave the order reined in his horse and led the large cavalry force to disperse on the spot, ceasing all advance.
Jiang Heyi frowned and quickly ordered, "Stop hitting with your hands, don't use your full strength."
Like an iron tower, the canned food collided head-on with a cavalryman, and relying on its brute physical strength, successfully caused the horse to vomit blood and die from the recoil.
His hands were like steel; the cavalryman's lance pierced and stabbed, leaving a bloody gash on his skin.
As if feeling no pain, he opened the can, gripped it with his hands behind his back, exerted force with his waist and abdomen, and his feet instantly embedded themselves in the ground.
He lifted the cavalryman, gun and all, into the air.
The knight struggled in terror in mid-air, and his lance slipped from his grasp.
He swung his arm and slammed him hard into another charging knight.
With a muffled thud, the two rolled into a ball like rag dolls.
"What do you say?"
The seven chosen by Khorne rushed forward the fastest.
As the saying goes, they can fight and they can fight, so their minds are temporarily set aside on Jiang Heyi.
The cavalry charged towards them, and the group of guys were all fired up, their actions almost identical.
Grasping their muskets, they violently spun around. In their first clash, a cavalry squad of 50 men was wiped out, with none of them still on horseback.
Those who landed still wanted to get up and fight, but Khorne's chosen ones drew their weapons, either slashing or stomping on their chests to burst their hearts, finishing off the attackers as quickly as possible.
There was no need for the esteemed mages to intervene; they handled everything themselves.
Compared to them, Li Furan's cosplay still lacks a natural feel.
At the very moment all 50 men were wiped out, the flamboyant cavalry commander, who was dressed in armor and carried a ceremonial sword into battle, waved his hand forcefully.
The rear guard of Peria's cavalry became the front guard, and they sped away like a gust of wind.
The whole process was smooth and frictionless.
The jailer said disdainfully, "What do you mean? Are you scared already?"
Jiang Heyi wasn't so optimistic.
When players arrived in Green Embroidery City, the area outside the city was littered with corpses, and the city was in ruins.
Judging from the signs that the body had begun to decompose and smell foul, at least a day had passed.
Given the small number of Green Embroidery's garrison troops within the city-state, it's clear that the previous battles had reached a dead end.
The city-state was clearly crumbling, but the Peria people did not choose to take it over in one fell swoop.
Without a doubt, the Perias deliberately withdrew their troops in order to subdue the enemy without a fight.
A desperate attack on a city full of wounded soldiers, with no one to come to its aid, would only lead to more casualties, like a cornered beast fighting desperately.
But if we delay for a day, allowing the atmosphere of despair to fester, and then launch another attack, the outcome is self-evident.
Jiang Heyi concluded: "Peria's legion commander is a very cautious person at the strategic level."
After a moment of silence, Huang Liangyi asked, "You're really quick at organizing information. You've already guessed the enemy's tactical habits?"
“As Yulu reminded us at the beginning, we need to find useful information ourselves. Since we are going to fight against a legion, it is crucial to understand their commander.”
What Jiang Heyi didn't say was...
This group of cavalry, serving as the vanguard, was highly trained.
After being attacked, the overall formation remained excellent, and they quickly dispersed to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop by the mage's area-of-effect magic.
As the vanguard captain, when encountering unidentified enemies, he did not charge with the might of cavalry, nor did he rely on his superior numbers to advance. Instead, he sent 50 men to probe the enemy.
The game assets of Proof of the Stars are basically based on real-world prototypes.
"We are fighting against the historically real Peria Empire."
After confirming that there were no hidden units nearby, Jiang Heyi left them all behind and scattered them to serve as sentries.
One perk that players can enjoy in this floor challenge is the ability to have a squad chat room.
No matter where Peria advances from, if the player's detection capabilities can cover the area, they can prepare in advance.
Inside Green Embroidery City, Crimson Music Box found the leader of the remaining troops at the start of the skirmish on Jiang Heyi's side.
Three centurions and four squad leaders.
At first, they were very wary of the music box, this outsider.
From the single line, "Hulan has abandoned this place, who exactly are you?", Crimson Music Box understood that they would most likely not receive reinforcements in this battle.
Only on your own.
The trauma from the battlefield made it difficult for the group to communicate.
Just then, the melodious sound of a harp drifted into everyone's ears.
They came to a clearing when they heard the sound, and saw the paladin infusing holy light into the wailing wounded soldiers, dispelling their pain and healing their festering wounds.
The spirit summoner of orange tea, the spirits wander among the wounded soldiers.
Wu Sitong, a wandering poet, plucked the strings of his zither.
The melodious piano music flowed like a clear spring, soothing everyone's tense nerves.
The three centurions unconsciously loosened their grip on their sword hilts, and the hostility in the eyes of the four platoon leaders gradually dissipated.
Communication was established.
According to their description, in the fierce battle with the Peria Empire, both ordinary and high-level combat forces were overwhelmingly defeated.
The Huilan soldiers fought to the last moment on the main battlefield, refusing to be persuaded to surrender.
I thought everyone could be tough and resolute, but Peria only slowed down his advance for a day, and everyone in the city who could run and jump had already left.
Aside from those who couldn't escape and the common people who believed Peria's rule would be better, this city-state had a fighting force of no more than 600.
The majority of the soldiers were wounded.
"What about those with magic abilities?"
"The old men who still stay in Green Embroidery and possess magic probably won't cooperate with you."
The scarlet music box asked in bewilderment, "Why?"
A centurion said bitterly, "The gentlemen can live comfortably in any other country. Peria will only promise them an even better life!"
"We are still here because home is here..."
“Peria occupied the country and relocated their people here; we are the inferior race to be humiliated!”
"Rather than that, we'd rather those bastards go to hell with us!"
Those willing to fight to the death are either locals of Green Embroidery, who are reluctant to leave their homeland.
Either they have a blood feud with Peria.
The moment Jiang Heyi returned, the music box shared the information it had gathered with everyone.
Everyone was mentally prepared for the lack of reinforcements.
Zhong Zemo looked around and stood up solemnly: "Before that, we need to consider the most important point."
"I'm hungry." These three words seem completely nonsensical in this context.
Many people in the room couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The spectators were also typing "hahahahaha" all the time.
After the laughter subsided, the room suddenly fell silent.
"There's a hunger meter here!"
This is a problem that won't occur on other floors of the Tower World.
Music Box said, "During the last siege, Green Embroidery's grain storage warehouses were burned to the ground. The remaining grain in the city is probably not very good."
The jailer asked in bewilderment, "We only have 35 people, so the food shortage shouldn't be too big, right?"
"Hard to say." Ready to eat after opening the can. "I only did a little exercise, and now I'm very hungry. It's probably a mechanism that Xi Lu didn't mention, but exists on this floor."
Music Box continued, "There's another point: apart from the mages who were already in the Green Embroidery Legion, it seems that the other mages in the city won't assist us."
Jiang Heyi licked his lips.
"Won't you help us?"
He smiled knowingly.
"French Fries, go with the Tea Master and invite all the well-known and influential magic families and forces in the city over here."
"We were all hungry, so we prepared a feast to entertain them."
Night reluctantly swallowed the setting sun, painting the last rays of light on the horizon.
At a time when wisps of smoke should be rising from chimneys and lights should be shining brightly in every home, Green Embroidery City is deathly silent.
Apart from a few large mansions, the entire city-state appears dark when viewed from mid-air.
Representatives from 5 families and 6 factions, totaling 11 parties, appeared at Jiang Heyi's square in the center of the city-state, a square untouched by the ravages of war.
If they're going to host a banquet, where are they going to find the ingredients?
In the end, even the grain was collected by asking several centurions for help from the people in the city.
The only decent dish on the table was a plate of chicken that Zhong Zemo, a skilled cook, had managed to make as appealing as possible, despite having no rice to cook.
And his first attempt at horse meat—this stuff is quite sour, and you can't get rid of it without spices.
After the 11 parties arrived, they each took their own seats at two tables.
Looking at the coarse food on the table, he snorted and pushed aside the rice bowl without saying a word.
When Jiang Heyi appeared as the commander, they didn't get up to exchange pleasantries or say hello; they just stared at him silently.
Before Jiang Heyi could speak, a young man dressed in fine clothes in the lower seat suddenly spoke up.
“I have inquired with people I know in the capital of Huilan, but they know nothing about you.”
"The titles you use in your newspaper, such as the boundary between reality and illusion, the comical tree, and Khorne, are unheard of."
"I will not discuss for now who you all are, why you appeared during the chaos in Green Embroidery, or what your intentions are."
"Wherever Peria's army marches, cities fall and kingdoms are destroyed. If you want to snatch chestnuts from the fire, you'd better think twice about your own strength!"
Jiang Heyi wasn't angry. Instead, he picked up a piece of hand-shredded chicken made with cuttlefish.
Sigh, even with such a shortage of seasonings, he still managed to make it taste so good.
It's time to interrogate that woman again.
"Since we can't understand it, let's just say we're bored and want to do some chivalrous things, to be the heroes who turn the tide."
"A hero? Ha." Another person stood up and sneered, "Who do you think you are, a god?"
"Whether the gods will save you is hard to say, but I'm determined to win no matter what," Jiang Heyi said.
"You think you can fight against the tide of national annihilation with just a few dozen people?"
As they spoke, the leaders of each faction burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, everyone, I think I understand what you're thinking now."
"You want to use us to get in touch with Peria and exchange that for the riches and glory of switching sides, right? If that's the case, then show us some sincerity."
Jiang Heyi wiped his mouth.
“You’ve been talking too much. I invited you to dinner because we have a tradition in our country called the last meal before someone’s death.”
"If you're going to die, try to eat as much as you can and die a full-fed ghost. A cyber full-fed ghost isn't so bad."
"But there's nothing we can do for your family. Hopefully they've had dinner by now."
Upon hearing this, the 11 people were struck dumb.
The young man who spoke first stood up abruptly.
"What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? I already said it." Jiang Heyi shrugged. "I'll kill your whole family, don't you understand?"
"Are you all insane, you wild mages?!"
"I'm not crazy. It's precisely because I'm perfectly lucid that I killed your whole family."
Before these people could even use their magic, seven burly men chosen by Khorne suddenly rushed out and killed the accompanying servants on the spot.
The magician who tried to resist had his head smashed by these burly men with necks as thick as heads before he could even finish chanting.
Seeing that things were not going well, the 11 people began to flee.
One of them cleverly used wind magic to break free, leaping high into the air in an attempt to escape danger.
"Hiss~~"
It was a comical tree, and my sword was not at a disadvantage in its strike.
He pierced the heart with his sword, then with a backhand stroke, beheaded the victim.
This move was perfectly coordinated with ID.
Another person who had successfully broken free from Khorne's entanglement had jumped onto a house, but a torrent of elemental energy pursued him from behind and instantly vaporized him.
The subdued men stared at Jiang Heyi, who was pacing towards them, with despair and ferocity.
"What exactly do you want? We can talk!"
“There’s nothing to talk about. You bunch of chameleons who can switch sides at any time, I’m afraid you’ll stab me in the back while I’m fighting Peria.”
"Goodbye so I can face the enemy with peace of mind."
As soon as the words were spoken, blood stained the square's paving stones.
Because they didn't have enough manpower to take care of all 11 families, they followed the centurion's instructions and prioritized eliminating the strongest families.
Here, they found the answer to their hunger problem—a mountain of food.
as well as……
"Potatoes are strong..."
"Call me that normally!"
The sashimi vendor who came to deliver the message pulled out a letter he had found in the study.
"The cavalry has suffered a setback. Find out the identities of the mages active near Green Embroidery City immediately."
A harsh, commanding tone.
It was unsigned, but anyone could understand that it came from the decision-making level of the Peria Legion.
This also directly corroborates Jiang Heyi's conjecture.
This legion commander was remarkably steady.
Even with the slightest setback, they immediately utilize information channels.
They show too much respect for their opponents.
"Thank goodness they were all killed. These people were definitely landmines."
Upon seeing the letter, everyone's bloodied hands burned even hotter.
You have to keep your word when you're in this business; if you say you'll kill the whole family, then you'll kill the whole family.
Almost simultaneously, bloodshed broke out throughout the city.
